This is particularly important as we have just learned that the Sacramento Women's March pulled out of the National Women's March coalition due to false allegations of antisemitism against several of its leaders. Apparently the Sacramento Jewish Federation, which supports the Israel lobby's advocacy for apartheid Israel, put pressure on local organizers to break ties with the national march, falsely asserting that opposing Zionism is anti-Jewish. Zionism is a racist and anti-human rights political ideology that supports Israel as a state where Jews have full national rights while Palestinians and other non-Jews are either third class citizens and/or subject to harsh military occupation, extrajudicial killing, home demolitions, torture and other violations of human rights and international law. Where and When: South Side Park, 7th & T. Meet 9am on the east side of the band stand/stage (to the right as you face the stage). Look for the thobe, traditional Palestinian dress worn by Rashida Tlaib , the first Palestinian-American Congress woman. March route: The Sacramento Women's March goes from South Side Park in Sacramento to the State Capitol at 10th & Capital. It is scheduled to leave South Side Park at 10am. Speakers, music, and performances begin 10:30am on the North, West, and South sides of the Capitol and continue until 3pm.

The Senate will vote on this legislation TODAY at 5:30 PM. This bill, which contains the Combatting BDS Act of 2019, attacks our right to boycott. With the shutdown over, it is likely that this bill will gain more support from Democrats who previously opposed it. We can't let this happen. You can make a difference by acting now and calling your senators this morning! This bill calls on state and local governments to withhold contracts from any individual or business entity that boycotts Israel. It ultimately stifles criticism of Israel at the federal level. TAKE ACTION NOW: Please call your two senators immediately. Be sure when you contact them that you mention your opposition to S.1 and that you are a constituent of their state. * The ACLU has said that all measures criminalizing BDS violate the First Amendment by penalizing Americans for political speech. * Do not silence one side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or sacrifice our constitutional rights for the interests of a foreign government. _____ The 5th Annual Palestine Advocacy Day & Training April 5 - 8, 2019 Washington, D.C. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: TAKE ACTION On Tuesday (1/29/19), the Senate passed S 1, a bill that included provisions criminalizing our right to boycott , which were put in the bill to try to stop the boycott movement against Israel's apartheid and human rights abuses. You can thank California's Senators Feinstein and Harris for voting against S 1. Tell them you want our right to boycott protected and that you also object to the $38 billion in aid for Israel that was included in S 1. Now we need to contact our representatives in the House and ask them to voice their opposition to S 1's companion bill HR 336 or any bill that would take away our right to boycott and to the $38 billion in aid for Israel that is included in HR 336. Call or email your representative Matsui, Bera, Garamendi, McNearny , LaMalfa , others and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi All members of Congress can be reached through the Congressional Switchboard 202-224-3121.
